We've started the second week of the football season with another good crop of Thursday games. A few things that stood out:

DeSoto rolls

Last week, DeSoto has a sizable lead before Jesuit rallied to make things a little scary for the defending 6A Division II champions. But on Thursday, DeSoto got started fast and kept rolling -- taking a 42-6 lead over Denton Guyer by the middle of the fourth quarter.

DeSoto ended up winning 42-13, and the Eagles were impressive in a lot of areas, including at quarterback, where Courtney Douglas only needed 12 passes to throw four touchdowns. But the big takeaway from the win:

DeSoto's defense toughened up after allowing more than 500 yards last week. Guyer managed less than 200.

Plano is 2-0 again

For the third straight season, Plano is 2-0. The Wildcats scored touchdowns on their first five possessions Thursday and wiped out Irving MacArthur 49-13. Running back Kyron Cumby and quarterback Jonathan Taylor are proving to be a potent combo for the maroon.

Next week Plano plays Rowlett, and the Wildcats should be favored to go 3-0 heading into District 6-6A play. That's when things really matter, of course. Plano last made the playoffs in 2014.

Frisco Wakeland can challenge for the 13-5A title

Frisco Lone Star has had terrific teams the last two seasons, when it won the Frisco ISD district. Lone Star is still the favorite this season, but Frisco Wakeland has looked really solid through two games.

On Thursday, Wakeland beat Lovejoy 38-14. Dylan Cadwallader threw four touchdown passes -- two to Tre Adams and two to Peyton Reinertsen.

Wakeland finished 8-5 last season and went three rounds in the playoffs. The Wolverines have made four straight playoff appearances.
